Moving Libraries

Moving a large collection of books from one location to another can be complex. For starters, they have to be shelved in specific locations for easy tracking and to preserve their overall integrity.

At Chess Moving, we recognize that relocating a library involves much more than simply moving books. It's about safeguarding valuable collections, preserving intellectual assets, and ensuring a seamless transition for both staff and users. As the pioneers of the library trolley system in Australia, our specialized equipment has been specifically designed to meet the needs of any library that requires relocation sufficiently.

Chess Moving’s Trolley System Makes Library Relocation Effortless

Our dedicated library relocation services are meticulously designed to cater to the unique requirements of libraries, academic institutions, and research facilities, ensuring every item is handled with the utmost care and precision. One of the ways we can efficiently do that is by using our high-quality trolleys.

Primarily engineered to protect books from being crushed during transport to their new location, you can also think of our trolleys as a mobile library. Since the books are stacked similarly to what you’d see on a shelf at a library, you can easily retrieve books whenever you want to. Furthermore, our trolley’s shelf width and depth allow two rows of books to be packed on each shelf, maximizing your storage capacity and minimizing the number of trolleys needed for your entire collection.

Once the books arrive at their new location, tracking is streamlined thanks to the sequential numbering on the trolleys which enables you to keep track of exactly where specific books are during relocation.

Library Relocation Solutions From Chess Moving

Comprehensive planning and consultation

Relocating an entire library requires more planning than moving to a different house or office. Aside from housing invaluable collections like rare books, fragile artifacts, and historical documents, nearly everything in a library’s previous location needs to stay exactly how it is in its new location for easy tracking.

Chess Moving’s team of specialists will work closely with you to develop a tailored relocation plan that addresses your specific needs. We start by conducting a detailed assessment of your collection and the new space. From there, our team will utilize specialized packing materials and techniques to safeguard your valuables during transit.

Professional packing and handling

At Chess Moving, we understand how valuable some of the items in your collection can be. We take special precautions to ensure your collection is safe throughout the entire relocation process. Aside from our trolleys, we use custom packaging and keep you in the loop of where we are during the relocation process. This way, we know which items require special care before being shipped to their new location.

Library reinstallation and setup

Upon arrival at your new location, Chess Moving ensures that your library is set up according to your specifications. Our team works diligently to arrange your collection, enabling you to resume normal operations as quickly as possible.
